Pastoral Reflections
“See, I am doing a new thing!
Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?”
(Isaiah 43: 19)
Excitement fills the air! A great deal of activity has been occurring in the Christian Education wing in the past few weeks. Chairs and tables have been moved to new rooms. Bulletin and white boards have been installed. The youth room is in the beginning stages of reconstruction, and the former office is undergoing transformation into the nursery. The dreams and desires of expanding Christian Education are becoming a reality! There is even a new adult education class being offered this fall! (See front page & insert.) Not surprisingly, classrooms have shifted significantly from last year. Inside this newsletter, you will find a new numbering system for the rooms in that wing. Please take some time to become familiar with the new system. It will be helpful in the coming weeks.
Sunday School Rally Day will be Sunday, September 12. On that day we will be commissioning teachers and youth leaders for the coming year. It will also be the first Sunday for……………….
NEW MEMBERS CLASS
Anyone interested may take the elevator and join me on the BL Level for a time to share, discern, and discover what it means to be a disciple of Christ and join in the ministry of this church. Class will begin at 9:30 am and last approximately 45 minutes. Childcare is provided.
So many possibilities are beginning to emerge. Do you perceive them? What new things are you beginning to see? How may God be leading this congregation to utilize its new capabilities?
How are you being called to be part of it? New days! New ways!
With joy and gladness,
Rev. Christine
